'I feel like this is the beginning, though I have loved you for million years.'

Adi let her down gracefully. She nodded her head and thanked him. Everyone clapped for the PM and his timely act. Suhasini walked the ramp and reached backstage.

Rajeev was bewildered by the things he discovered. Nobody in the venue noticed her face. But he took notice of her. He felt insulted and deeply humiliated. He did not want to believe the scene he saw. He rewinded the scene in his mind and looked at it again. The face which appeared on his view was unfathomable. He wanted to confirm it before confusing himself. He looked at that certain PM's place which was already empty.

He quickly regained his composure and walked towards the backstage. A guard stopped him..

Guard: Sir, you can't enter..

Rajeev: I need to go inside.. I need to meet Sia..

Guard: Sorry sir.. PM is visiting the designer..

Rajeev started shouting..

Rajeev: Hey Adi... Adi.. Adi... Dhairyam irundha ulla vida Sollu da..

Adi: Let him in..

His calm voice was heard.

Rajeev walked in towards the Magic's resting room. He saw Sia on Adi's lap.

Rajeev: Do you think this is some sort of play?? Why are you hiding your wife like this??

Adi: Who did say so?? I never hid her.. See now also I'm showing off..

Suhasini: It was my decision.. To hide my identity..

Rajeev: Then why did you play with me???

Suhasini: Check your facts properly.. I never played with you or your emotions.. And I don't have anything to reveal my identity to you.. Its your fault to like me..

Unaku Ennai pidichudhu ngradhukaga en identity eh reveal pannanuma??

Rajeev: Ippo enaku therinjuruche.. Enna pannuve??

Adi: Ha ha ha ha ha.. My stupid half-brother.. You are one of the smartest persons walking on this land.. But.. You let your emotions get the best of you.

Nee reveal panna nee epdi kandu pidiche nu therinjurum.. People will find out that you liked someone else's wife and got fooled.

Un Maanam Enna aaguradhu.. Apram un arasiyal kanavu??

Olunga poi velaiya paaru...

Rajeev remembered everything properly this time. There were so many hints all along but he ignored in the name of his emotions.

Rajeev: Ennai asinga paduthitte le...

Ennai asinga paduthitte le... You will suffer.. Your wife will suffer..

Adi smiled..

Adi: adhu naan irukka varaikum nadakadhu..

I promised her that I would keep her safe and prosper forever.. I never forego my words..

Suhasini: You are trying to hurt my family. Stay away.. I'll not let you do that..

Rajeev laughed maniacally...

Rajeev: I will kill both of you.. You both will succumb to death in my hands..

He left the room with those words.. Suhasini came near him.

Suhasini: I brought one more trouble to your way... I'm sorry..

Adi: No jaan... He is always going to be my trouble. Ennale dhaan nee Idhu kulla maatikitte... I'm extremely sorry..

Don't worry.. I'll keep you safe in all cases..

Suhasini: nee en kooda irukka varaikum naan eppavume safe dhaan...

Adi smiled...

A certain phone was ringing in a faraway country. It was picked up after five rings.

Rajeev: Uncle, I need you...

A hoarse voice was heard from other side.

Uncle: What happened???

Rajeev: Adi...

Uncle: He is bright.. Like Sun.. We cannot kill him in day..

Rajeev: I know.. Adhanale dhaan naan ungalku call pannen..

Uncle: His weakness???

Rajeev: Suhasini.. His wife..

Uncle: A sun has his night.. We will kill him in a night...

Rajeev: Thanks uncle...

His uncle was a infamous leader of black mamba gang which ruled the underworld. People were feared of his existence. Nobody knew his name, origin or his whereabouts. Seven countries issued immediate death penalty for him. He was searched by all major countries around the world. But he was still living his life leisurely. People wanted to acquaint him to keep their head safe. His brothers in the gang called him brother.. Very few knew his original name, Nayak. His only living relative was Rajeev's mother, Latha. She was his step-sister. He doted on her as she was the only one who cared for him..

Adi and Suhasini returned home after the tour. Election results were announced and Adi won with majority. Prerna and Eeshwar's engagement was announced to the world. Palace was decorated in full vigor. Tabloids filled the pages with their estimate of expenses for the royal engagement.

Day before engagement:

Eeshwar: yean ivlo silent ah irukke???

Prerna: I'm worried..

Eeshwar: about what???

Prerna: naalaiku engagement... your circle is so daunting..

Eeshwar: you don't have to worry about anything.. Don't you see my sister-in-law???

Prerna: Suhasini kadhai vera.. She got married the moment she entered your household..

Eeshwar: Indha ulagathuku dhaan indha engagement Kalyanam ellam..

En manasu padi, nee enniko en pondati aayite... So don't worry..

She nodded her head. She was worried about who would give her hand in this ceremony and talk for her. She had hopeless parents. She was an unregistered orphan.

------

Day of engagement:

Prerna called Suhasini's number..

Prerna: Enga di irukke?

Suhasini: Vandhutu irukken di.. Yean kathure???

Prerna: Yaarume illa de.. Tension ah irukku..

Suhasini: Don't worry.. I'll be there in a minute..

But the bride was called to the venue.. Eeshwar came close to her after she settled herself..

Eeshwar: You look gorgeous...

Don't worry.. My uncle will sit and give your hand..

Prerna smiled..

Prerna: you understood my worries..

Eeshwar: naan adhe kooda gavanika matten nu nenaichiya???

We are now waiting for my brother to come. Don't worry.. Nothing will go wrong this time..

Prerna: you look handsome too..

He smiled in response..

Adi entered the hall with Suhasini. They reached the stage and the crown prince stood opposite to his father..

Madhana: Son, come this side.. Your uncle will stand there..

Adi: No Mother.. I'm here to give the hand..

Mahadev: Adi..

His father understood his emotions behind this move.

Suhasini: Your majesty, I would like to have a word..

Mahadev: Go ahead, Daughter-in-law..

Suhasini: Prerna is like my sister.. She doesn't have anyone except us.. So we would like to stand on her side and give her hand..

Prerna had tears in her eyes. She was a strong willed girl but she felt so lost at that time..

Adi: Grandmother, will you accept if I give my sister-in-law's hand??

Empress smiled and nodded..

Prerna: I'll never forget this mama.. And you.. Sollave illa di nee en kitte..

She hugged her as she mumbled..

Suhasini: You look so beautiful today.. Makeup kalainjirum.. Don't cry.. You can only control my brother-in-law..

I'm so selfish and mean.. Vera yaarachi katti vecha they will try to chase me away.. So I'm doing this for my own good..

Prerna: you liar..

They both exchanged rings.. The rings were specially made with each other heart beats printed inside the rings..

Adi: Since dowry is banned, we will not offer any dowry for my sister-in-law.. My brother should not ask any in the future..

Sign it here..

He moved the contract before Eeshwar..

Suhasini whispered: you and your contracts..

He signed without reading anything..

Suhasini: Brother-in-law, Read it 1000 times before signing.. Your brother is so sneaky in terms of contracts..
